Sauza Hornitos Reposado - Item Code: 07468
Discover Sauza Hornitos Reposado:
Sauza Hornitos Reposado stands as a testament to the mastery of tequila craftsmanship. Distilled from 100% blue agave, this spirit is imbued with the essence of its raw material, which is meticulously harvested in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. The agave’s core, or piña, is cooked to perfection before undergoing fermentation and distillation—a process that ensures the retention of its distinctive flavors.
Upon nosing Sauza Hornitos Reposado, one can detect a harmonious blend of sweet and woody aromas with subtle hints of citrus. This olfactory bouquet is indicative of its time spent in American oak barrels—typically around two months to one year—which imparts not only a golden hue but also a complexity that balances the inherent sweetness of agave with an oaky sophistication.
On the palate, this reposado reveals layers that unfold gradually. The initial taste carries forward the promise made by its aroma: vanilla and caramel notes are prominent due to barrel aging while maintaining a backbone of cooked agave. A slight peppery spice emerges mid-palate as an interplay between smoothness and zest—a characteristic feature that distinguishes it from both unaged blancos and more mature añejos.
Producer Notes: Sauza Tequila
Sauza Tequila is a renowned producer of tequila, which is a spirited beverage crafted from the blue agave plant. This plant grows primarily in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, which is not far from Guadalajara in Jalisco, Mexico. The region’s volcanic soil provides an ideal environment for growing blue agave, and Sauza takes full advantage of this to create their signature drinks.
The company was founded by Don Cenobio Sauza back in 1873. He was one of the first to export tequila to the United States, and his family has continued his legacy for generations. Sauza Tequila stands out because they ferment their tequila with naturally occurring yeast, which adds a unique flavor profile to their products.
One of Sauza’s most famous offerings is Sauza Silver Tequila, known for its crisp and fresh taste that makes it perfect for mixing into cocktails like margaritas or enjoyed neat. Another popular choice is Sauza Gold Tequila, which has a slightly sweeter taste due to its aging process that gives it a golden hue.

Tequila is a distilled spirit made primarily from the blue agave plant (Agave tequilana), predominantly produced in the Jalisco region of Mexico, along with some areas in Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas. This unique spirit undergoes a meticulous distillation process, typically involving double distillation in pot stills or column stills. Tequila is categorized into several types based on its aging process: Blanco (unaged or aged less than 2 months), Reposado (aged between 2 months and 1 year), Añejo (aged between 1 and 3 years), and Extra Añejo (aged over 3 years). Each type offers distinct flavor profiles ranging from fresh and herbal to rich and complex.
The flavor and aroma of tequila vary significantly across its categories. Blanco tequilas are known for their crisp texture with fresh citrus notes, peppery hints, and agave sweetness. Reposado tequilas present a softer profile with vanilla and caramel undertones derived from oak aging. Añejo varieties boast richer flavors such as chocolate, coffee, and dried fruit alongside pronounced oak influence. Extra Añejo tequilas deliver complex layers of deep wood characteristics combined with smoothness. Tequila is versatile in cocktails; it serves as the base for popular drinks like Margaritas, Tequila Sunrises, Palomas, and various craft cocktails that highlight agave spirits.
